The Use of the Magnetip Double-J Ureteral Stent in Urological Practice

Abstract: The Magnetip* double J type ureteral stent has been used in a wide variety of clinical urological settings. We reviewed the use of the stent in 50 patients. In 45 patients stents were placed in conjunction with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, stone manipulation, obstruction due to pregnancy or malignancy, pyeloplasty and ureteroneocystostomy. In 83 per cent of the attempts the stent was placed successfully. Retrieval with the Magnetriever* was accomplished in 86 per cent of the cases (100 per cent in fe… Show more

“…Various attempts have been made to avoid a repeated exposure to general anesthesia for stent removal in pediatric population. Mykulak et al .,[14] and Macaluso et al .,[15] described the use of magnetic tip double J catheter but this approach had fallen out of favor with time due to technical difficulties with removal. Taveres et al ., presented a technique for inserting an internal-external nephroureteral antegrade stent during laparoscopic pyeloplasty which can be easily removed in clinic as outpatient, but authors warned about profuse bleeding after puncture of parenchyma, and other risks of any percutaneous renal access including injury to nonvisualized wall of large bowel.…”

“…For example, a string attached to the distal tip and left at the urethral meatus permits retrieval of the stent without cystoscopy. Another stent incorporating a distal magnetic tip can be retrieved, using a magnet [32]. The development of biodegradable stents will eliminate the need for invasive removal procedures [31,59].…”

“…Macaluso и соавт. в 1989 г., который может быть использован у женщин без рент геновского и эндоскопического контроля [13], но стоимость магнитных стентов является немаловажным фактором [14]. Биодеградируемые стенты [15], к сожалению, ввиду слабой управляемости деградации не получили широкого распространения [16].…”
